ADVERTISING CARRIER Application filed .Tune 5, 1930. Serial No. 459,404.

This invention relates to advertising carriers or envelopes.

An object of this invention is to provide .in

a device of the character described, comprising 'a novel combination of an enclosing envelope for a booklet, pamphlet or the like printed matter and an extension for carrying a message or the like printed matter, window means on said envelope portion to permit io viewing of a portion of the printed matter,

pamphlet or merchandise or sample such as a swatch of cloth, within the envelope, said window moreover being adapted to be covered by said extension as for instance When mailing the device.

A further object of this invention is to provide in a device of the character described, improved means to facilitate the insertion of a pamplilet or booklet into the envelope.

A still further object of this invention is to so form the cover extension of the carrier that a portion of the envelope may be exposed to view even with the extension in closed position, whereby opening` of the extension cover after the same has been attached to the envelope in closing position for mailing is facilitated, said structure further facilitating inspection of the contents of the device without detaching the cover, as for inso stance when using the device for third class mailing.

@ther objects of this invention will in part be obvious and in part hereinafter pointed out.

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinationsof eleinents, and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of Which the scope of apgo plication will be indicated in the following claims.

In the accompanying drawing, in which is shown one of the various possible illustrative embodiments of this invention,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an ladvertisement carrier or envelope embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a cut sheet or blank for making the advertising carrier 60 embodying the invention;

taken on Referring now in detail to the drawing, 10

designates an advertisement carrier or enclosing device embodying the invention, here shown in the form of a mailing device4 for pamphlets, booklets, folders, merchandise, samples or the like articles, comprising an envelope portion 11 and a cover extension 12. The entire carrier may be made of a single sheet of material cut and creased to form a blank B shown in Fig. 2. Said blank comprises a central section 15 of any suitable rectangular shape, somewhat larger than the size of the pamphlet or booklet to be received within the carrier. Extending from the creased side 16 of said section 15 is a section 17 substantially of the same size as said section 15. Said section 17 may be provided with a curved cut-away portion 18 adjacent one end thereof, and with a central cut-away portion 19 of any suitable shape forming, as will hereinafter appear, a window to permit viewing of matter inserted in the envelope portion 11. Adjacent the outer edge 20 of said section 17, is applied a layer 21 of paste or the like adhesive Substance whereby section 17 may be folded over the section 15 and pasted thereto adjacent the creased edge por- ,I

tion 22 of said section 15.

It will be noted that the layer of adhesive material 21 terminates as at 24, short of the end 25 of said section 17 so that when said latter section is folded and pasted in position as shown in Fig. 3, a free unpasted slit edge portion 26 is provided which may be somewhat opened or folded back to facilitate insertion or removal of the pamphlet, booklet, merchandise, samples, or the like articles or printed matter into or from the envelope portion 11. Extending from a creased end edge 27 of said section 15 is a flap 28 having a layer 29 of paste or other adhesive material,

so that said fiap 28 may be folded over the folded section 17 and attached thereto, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing. Extending from the creased edge 30 of said section 15 opposite the creased edge 27 is a secend fiap 31 adapted torbe folded over the open end of the envelope portion 11. Extending from said creased edge 22 of said section 15 is the cover extension 12 which is foldable over the envelope 11 to cover the section 17 and o ning or window 19 formed therein. aid cover 12V is provided with a Vcoating 35 of paste or; the like adhesive material adjacent the outer edge 35 thereof, whereby the cover may be attached to the outer section 17 for closing the carrier as for instance, when mailing the same; 1

One corner 36 of said cover extension 12 may be cut away to expose to view a portion of the folded fiap 31 so that the rson receiving the carrier may see a portion of the envelope 11 beneath the extension 12. Furthermore, when the cover 12 is in attached or closed position, the receiver of the carrier may insert a finger underneath the cut-away corner of the cover to facilitate detaching of the cover by tearing away the pasted portion 35.

If desired, a sheet 37 of glassine or the like transparent or translucent material may be attached to the section 17 in any suitabie manner, for covering the window opening 19. The inner surface of the cover extension 12 may contain printed matter advertising or explainin the booklet within the carrier. A portion o the booklet may be seen thru window 19 and when mailing the carrier, said window is completely covered by the extension 12. This structure obviates the necessity for printin on the front fue of the envelope to a vertise the booklet or like article within the envelope, since the printing or colors on the booklet itself may thereby be seen thru the window opening.

The carrier 10 it will be noted forms ahighly attractive and practical advertising folder or mailing wrapper. The same is simple in construction and when used for third class mailing allows access to the contents of the envelope for the urpose of inspection.

It will readil Ee seen that for the purpose of inspection, t e finger may be inserted un-- der the exposed portion of the fiap 31 and said fiap then easily lifted outwardly into open osition to permit withdrawalof the pamph et. After inspection, the pamphlet may be reinserted into the enve ope portion and the fiap 31 folded backinto position beneath the adjacent portion of the cover extension 12 which may be folded back for this purose.

p The outer side of either cover 12 or central section 15 may be used for the purpose of addressing and stamping the carrier. It will furthermore he noted that removal of the pamphlet from the envelope portion 11 is :further facilitated by folding back the free portion 26 of said section 17 as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing.

seragam'4 A card on which is mounted a sample swatch of cloth or fabric may be inserted within the envelo e portion, the cloth showing thru the win ow opening. The window may be shaped to have the configuration of a garment and the front face of the envelope portion decorated or printed to show a figure wearing such garment. The figure thus appears to be clothed within a garment made of the sample cloth or fabric.

Although the carrier is described herein as particularly adapted for mailing purposes, it 'svill be understood that the same may have other uses, for example, for hand to hand delivery of merchandise or samples over the counter and the like uses.

It will thus be seen that there is provided a device in which the several objects of this invention 'are achieved and which is well adapted to meet the conditions of practical use. 1
